N7 - Abandoned Research Station part 1

Curious about how to undertake this side quest? Of course you are -- that's why you're reading this section of the guide. Thankfully, getting to your destination isn't nearly as difficult as it might seem. First, you have to complete the side quest known as N7: Wrecked Merchant Freighter. Once you do that successfully and return to the Normandy, you should receive a message that picks apart data found in that previous side quest, giving you a new destination to head to. To reach the location of this side quest from there, head to the nearest Mass Relay, and make a jump to the Eagle Nebula. You'll end up in the Imir system, but you need to travel to one of its sister systems, Strabo, to proceed. There, near a ringed gas giant, you'll find the Jarrahe Station. That's where we need to land to begin this quest.

Move forward from where your ship is docked, and you'll encounter a bloodied human corpse on the ground. Near the corpse, a datapad can be found. Read it, and you'll discover that this station has been overrun by a rogue VI. In order to stop the VI from hurting anyone else, this datapad reveals that a decision was made to cut power to the entire station. Obviously, it didn't work too well. From there, you can continue around the linear corridor to a locked door and an open door, directly next to one another. The open door will lead to a room with another bloodied corpse on the ground. Scour the room for two boxes of Iridium, and then use the computer terminal within this room to turn the power back on throughout the ship. As you'll hear thereafter, the rogue VI isn't too happy about your decision.

The nearby door that was previously locked is now open, so head on through it, and then go through another door to reach a new area. This room has a series of five doors that must all be breached, though you should do so in a certain order. The doors to your left, right and on the far side of this room are all open, with two doors leading to an isolated room sealed shut by the rogue VI controlling this ship. To your right, as you enter this area, you should find another bloodied human body, with a PDA on her person. Reading it will shed a little more light on just what's going on here, though to proceed, you're ultimately going to have to resolve to shut this VI down the hard way. And that's just what we're going to do right now.
